Grimms' RWBY Tales #11: Outfoxed

Blake was walking down the forest path, whistling to herself. It was good to be a cat here; fish were plentiful, naps were frequent, catnip grew throughout the forest. She was going to meet her amazing girlfriend for dinner. Today, life was fantastic.

As she walked, she saw Adam the Fox sitting by the side of the road. Normally she would have ignored him, but she was in such a great mood she instead said "How are you enjoying this beautiful day, Adam?"

Adam turned to glare at her, rage evident on his face. "How dare you disturb me? Who do you think you are, asking me that?"

Blake bristled. She was simply trying to be a friendly neighbor. "Calm down. We live in a beautiful forest, what could you possibly have to whine about?"

"You could never understand my problems, little mouse eater. You're far too stupid." Blake was offended. She would never eat mice when fish were much more delicious.

"Arrogance and intelligence are not the same thing, Adam. You have much of one, and very little of the other."

"What do you know about it, huh? I'm a genius! I know hundreds of tricks! Compared to me, you're nothing!" Blake was about to respond before she heard something rapidly coming closer. The sound of panting and paws scrambling over branches filled her ears.

"I know the only trick that matters, Adam. I know how to escape from hunting dogs." She sprinted forward and jumped onto the nearest tree, using her claws to climb her way up one of the branches.

"That's stupid. The dogs will simply wait for you at the base of the tree. Only I'm smart enough to escape from them." Adam said. Blake saw the pack of dogs burst through the foliage as Adam tried to start running away. They all soon passed out of her sight, but not her hearing. She heard very clearly when the dogs caught up to Adam, and the chase ended abruptly.

"Like I said, I only needed the one trick." Blake said.

"That's a lie. You know two tricks to escape from dogs." She heard at the base of the tree.

"Maybe, but my other one doesn't work anymore. I hear the pack leader is already a taken woman." Blake said before leaping down and tackling her girlfriend to the ground. Yang started laughing as the pair rolled around on the ground for a while. Yang had the size advantage; it didn't take her long to pin Blake to the ground.

"So what's for dinner, kitten?"

"Fish."

"You always pick fish."

"Yeah, and you always pick the after dinner activities. You want to trade?"

Panic flitted across her girlfriend's face. "Nope, I'm good. Lead the way, Blakey." Yang got off Blake, and the pair walked together towards their dinner.
